Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Yogurt and Toasted Almonds
Start your day with this tropical twist! Grilled pineapple slices, caramelized to perfection, served with creamy coconut yogurt and crunchy toasted almonds. A delightful and healthy breakfast option that's easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 medium Fresh Pineapple
- 1 cup Coconut Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Almonds
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
Prepare the Pineapple
Begin by peeling the pineapple. Cut it into 1/2-inch thick rings or wedges. Remove the core if desired.
Prepare the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the Pineapple
Place the pineapple slices on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly softened and caramelized. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Toast the Almonds
While the pineapple is grilling, toast the almonds. You can do this in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Alternatively, spread them on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
Assemble and Serve
Spoon coconut yogurt into bowls. Top with the grilled pineapple. Drizzle with honey and lime juice. Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.
FAQ

Can I use canned pineapple?
Fresh pineapple is recommended for the best flavor and texture. Canned pineapple tends to be softer and may not grill as well. If using canned, pat it dry before grilling. -
Can I use a different type of yogurt?
Yes, you can substitute with Greek yogurt, regular yogurt, or any other yogurt you prefer. Consider the sweetness level, as you may need to adjust the honey accordingly. -
What other toppings can I add?
Feel free to add other toppings such as shredded coconut, chia seeds, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
